Based in New Plymouth, Pace Engineering Ltd is proud to provide value-added engineering solutions for Taranaki as well as into the national and international arena. Formed in 1992 by Steve Day and two other founding directors, Pace Engineering is today owned by Steve and Debbie Day who took over full ownership of the company in 2002. Under their leadership, the company has significantly increased its capabilities, thanks to investment in additional workshop space and consistent reinvestment in new and specialist equipment. As well, comprehensive welding procedures, third party accreditations and quality management systems have been developed. Scott Richardson, who joined Pace Engineering as their operations manager last May, appreciates the company’s positive and professional workplace culture. “It’s great to be a part of a family-owned business like this, working with people who share similar life values, and knowing if there are any issues you can go straight to the owner to get it sorted,” says Scott. “We have a commitment to quality service, no matter the job, and an excellent reputation as an engineering contractor with a ‘can do’ attitude. Alongside our larger project work, we’re happy to do little jobs for local people who come to us for a $60 replacement part or a small repair.” The 63-strong workforce at Pace Engineering comprises an experienced and versatile multi-discipline trades team that also includes apprentices, reflecting a commitment to upskilling the next generation. The company has considerable expertise in repair and maintenance engineering and in large capacity and CNC machining, with additional capability in transport engineering. A foremost supplier to New Zealand’s metal extrusion plants, Pace Engineering is firmly embedded in such specialist activities as press removals, plant installations, retrofits, and maintenance of several 2500-tonne extrusion presses plus ancillary equipment used in both New Zealand and Australia. “Our machine shop has been a key factor in supporting this work, which is performed exclusively by Pace Engineering for the country’s five major extrusion plants. Refurbishing highly specialised components has been a mainstay of the machine shop for nearly 30 years, underpinning its growth through the years.” Pace Engineering has two fabrication workshops, one of which is used for quick response repairs and maintenance as well as skilled transport engineering compliance work. Regular customers include logistics companies, road transport owner/operators, local composite manufacturers, farmers, saw millers, rural contractors, animal feed mills, quarries, civil contractors and various walk-up clients. “This workshop also caters for non-ferrous materials that are fabricated, formed, and welded along with stainless steel and general sheet metal fabrication.”
